We are having Chili. My husband is the cook this evening!

He also made breakfast! Brought my orange juice to me!

Spells are from witchcraft.

So our faith is equated with witchcraft. Nice.

But we need to respond lovingly to being called, in essence, witches, since we are not the victims.

I was put out with him saying "spell" also. Much like using the name of Jesus in baptism is a "edited"

Miz - we've asked that term not be used anymore please.

So sorry, I forgot!!!

Maybe "spell" ought to be declared off limits regarding the Gospel.

What an amazing thing--that on an Apostolic forum, a term like the one Miz repeated would have to be banned when discussing Baptism in the only saving Name.

I'm kind of disappointed that we had to fight so hard to get the term outlawed, but that's just me--and I guess it is water under the bridge.

Better than not banning it.

We've discussed the "spell" word too. I don't like it either, but a bit hard to ban it when you've got a UPC preacher out there saying even witches understand the power in hair.

Where do we stop banning words? Understand what I mean?

Also, the offense of the banned words were associated with blasphemy. I'd rather err on the side of caution when that's the case and you are correct it is ashamed, but there are all walks of spiritual people here. Hopefully, we can continue to reach out to everyone.

This is news to me. I guess I missed that fight.

Wow.

That is very telling.

I would agree that people who equate Apostolic doctrine with a spell are indeed "spiritual."

I wouldn't say that is true at all.

Also, there wasn't ONE reported post.

Like we've tried to explain OVER and OVER - - all of admin aren't here 24/7. There was only one here that night - we closed the thread. We discussed, we came to a decision and reopened the thread the next morning.

Miss Bratt that really wasn't fair.
